PRODUCT INFORMATION
SUBTILEX NG contains bacteria that colonize developing root and shoot systems of plants, suppressing by competition disease organisms such as Botrytis, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Pythium as well as those organisms causing powdery mildew and anthracnose. Protection against root and soil borne pathogens is extended throughout the growing season as bacteria grow with the roots. As a result of this biological protection, vigorous root and shoot systems are established by treated plants, resulting in more uniform stands and greater yields. In addition, SUBTILEX NG has been shown to increase the amount of nodulation by
nitrogen-fixing bacteria when used on many legumes. This improvement in nodulation is a result of a healthier root system allowing more sites for nodules to form from inoculated or naturally occurring soil borne nitrogen-fixing bacteria. SUBTILEX NG is for use in-furrow, in soil or growing media, and for foliar applications to field- and greenhouse-grown crops. Apply SUBTILEX NG using conventional application equipment as well as irrigation systems commonly used for chemigation.

APPLICATION RATES:
For pre-plant growing media amendment applications. Apply SUBTILEX NG at a rate of 0.05 – 0.07 oz/ cubic yard of soil or growing media (1.8 – 2.6 g/cubic meter). Use the higher rate when environmental conditions are favorable for disease development. Apply SUBTILEX NG as a water based slurry in a volume of water sufficient for uniform distribution. Typical application volume is 1 – 20 gal/cubic yard (5 – 100 L/cubic meter) of soil or growing media. Ensure product is
thoroughly mixed into the soil or growing media. For field and greenhouse post-plant applications. (Reference Tables 1 and 2). Mix 0.2 – 0.4 oz. of SUBTILEX NG in 100 gallons of water (15 – 30 g /1000 L). Use the higher rate when environmental conditions are favorable for disease development. Constant agitation is required to maintain SUBTILEX NG in suspension. Apply evenly with conventional application equipment to thoroughly soak the growing media or soil through the root zone.
